Celebrate the Solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe with this powerful reflection from Fr. Jonathan Meyer. Today’s Gospel reveals Jesus reigning from the Cross, offering mercy to the Good Thief and promising, “Today you will be with me in paradise.”

Fr. Meyer invites us to reject sin, choose Jesus, and begin living in His Kingdom right now—not someday, but today.

He also wraps up our parish REBOOT journey and challenges us to share the joy we’ve received with others.
